Donating physical goods

Our donations area is open daily, from 10am to 4pm, at Benton North Farm.

We appreciate the generosity of our community, but kindly ask people not to purchase goods-to-donate and instead consider a cash donation, ensuring that support can go to where it is needed most.

While cash contributions are encouraged, the shelter is still accepting used goods, and thanks you for your ongoing support.

Sadly, we cannot accept duvets, pillows, cushions, carpets, or open food. Donors are asked to ensure that items are clean and in working order before dropping them off.

The shelter is in good shape regarding essential supplies, and the focus has shifted to ensuring that funds are available for critical care expenses. Cash donations provide the flexibility needed to address various needs, especially veterinary bills that can quickly accumulate.

The donation area is open daily from 11am to 4pm at Benton North Farm, Benton Lane, Longbenton, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 8EH.
